Note: For the examples of spacecraft design posted on this blog, I mostly use 2ed. Mongoose Traveller rules, but some examples using 1ed. rules will persist until they can be upgraded.

Look at the side column for variant rules I use in my campaign.

Jenny's gravity harness arrives in time for her to test it on a pleasant summer's day between services on the Lord's Day. It's nice to get away...

Jennifer has recently retired from the planetary COACC of Eridanii-Prime. After a year of preparation, she has just moved to the outer system to set up a transport business. She has a new place to live, a new 10 ton launch to begin her spacecraft fleet, and a few toys all paid for. Through creative financing and to get out from system-binding financial entanglements, she has paid everything off by taking out an equity loan. These payments are starting to get worrisome to her since the business is still not up and running yet, and those monthly payments are steep. You'll never find a more motivated pilot for the small package trade than Jenny Morrison.....

Jenny's 30dt module, docked at Station 12, Epsilon Eridani system.

30dt Module




Home Sweet Home, "Morrison Cottage"
This fairly new module (1 year old) was purchased from the owner of Station 12, an anonymous eccentric Billionaire operating the station near the midway point between Eridanii Prime and Asteroid Ring Alpha. In exchange for the occasional small package shipment directly to the station owner's suite, Jennifer is not charged docking fees for her module. Once her equity loan is paid off, she plans to remodel the module for small scale manufacturing. This module has become her primary home since she has moved her personal effects from the town-home at down port. She hopes to rent out the condo while traveling to the outer system and other systems for business. A droid, "George", is kept on staff at the module to provide valet and cooking services while she is in port, and otherwise George provides routine maintenance on the module and security services. Jenny also allows her droid to participate in self education projects while she is away.
